Great, thanks. I'll get this started. I'll add my cover invoice, attach yours and submit it later today, and it should be paid within
3-6 weeks. I'll pay you as soon as they cut me a check.

Hi Tara,

Here is the my invoice and my W-9. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you,

Mike Russell

P.S. You can get me the invoice for $1 000 and your W-9 anytime you want, but know it will take me a little
while to pay it. I can turn it around within a day or two, but it will take me 3-6 weeks to get paid for it and turn
around to pay you (probably on the longer end of that.) I'm billing it and passing it though to you as a
subcontractor.

Ok, looking forward to it.

I'll try to make sure you're not tortured with changes. I'll make sure we get everyone's input and then I'll give
you a single batch of edits (hopefully not a lot.) I know it's a pain to get a trickle of feedback a little at a time.

I don't quite know how long it will take to get feedback. On other parts of this project, feedback/edits have
been pretty minimal, but have also been slow/required follow up.

I will consult with Jessica/Andrew, Miranda and maybe LADWP although perhaps not. And I'll see if anyone
wants to present it to the Consortium before we final the final copy.

Thanks again!

Hi Tara,

I’m still working on it. I think it’s looking pretty good. I’m giving myself a hard deadline of Friday. I will get
you something by Friday evening.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi Tara,

I am making great progress, but I am going to need a little more time. I should have
something to you by next week.

Hi Tara,

Thank you for sending the updated map.

I want to make sure I spend the appropriate amount of time making the layout
and design top notch. I originally had intended to whip something out in a few
hours, but based on the high level of content and importance of this report, I
realize now that it would not look good. This means I will have to spend a
considerable amount of time to make the finished product very slick. The
$1 ,000 will help in this effort.

I will put in some overtime and I should be able to get something to you by the
end next week.

Thank you,

I apologize. I sent the old map file rather than the updated one. The
correct one is attached. I was traveling yesterday and didn't have
access to my files.

This whole project has been like pulling teeth. Lots of handholding
and waiting at every turn. I'm at more than double the hours we
budgeted for the entire scope, and am writing my time off as pro
bono work as this point. I'd just like to finish it and have a report
everyone likes. As I think I mentioned way back when, there is
$1 ,000 available for design layout if that helps. I haven't billed it yet
(it's the final payment,) but I'm happy to ship it your way. Just send
me an invoice for it and a W-9 for my records.

Warmest regards,

Tara

Hi Tara,

The attached map seems to be out of date. It still has Tom

LaBonge list on it. Do you have a newer version?

Also, this project might be a little more work then I originally
anticipated. Is there any budget to cover the labor cost for the
layout and design time?

Thank you,

I don't think I sent you this before; the Clerk finally got
me a revised/current map last week, so you won't
have to edit the out-of-date one as you'd offered to do.

There's a placeholder in the report for this.
